Space Game News and Deals 4/18-22/13: The Owwie Edition

Hellooooo everyone, and welcome to Monday! I’m off today on account of getting a tooth removed, so I’m writing part of this before I leave for my little operation. I’ll write the rest when I get back, likely on drugs, to add to the entertainment. ;) Sorry for the lack of news later last week, the week totally got away from me. That said, let’s get into some newwwwwws bitches! ;)

Homeworld – Gearbox has purchased the IP.Apparently, according to PC Gamer (and other sources, but I saw it there first), someone — and we don’t know who yet — snagged the Homeworld IP in a recent auction of THQ’s assets. Sadly, it wasn’t to the teamPixel folks who’d been trying to hard to raise the funds. Hopefully it ended up in good hands, but we don’t know yet, sadly.

Infinite Space 3 – There’s some new art and a combat video over on their Kickstarter page. We’re also gonna be interviewing some of the folks behind this game for this week’s podcast, so stay tuned! :)

Void of Darkness – A couple of updated for your reading pleasure. First, a forum update, followed by a role-playing update, which is nifty.

StarMade – There are some new server stability fixes and the fixing of a ghost bug.

ScrumbleShip – According to the dev’s Kickstarter and IndieDB pages, there will be a new launcher for the game called ScrumbleGet. This I like.

Ring Runner – According to a post on their Kicksarter, their lon-linear arch is nearly complete, which has me all aflutter, as I love non-linear anything. There’s also an interview with their Dryere brothers — the lead devs of the game — in The Leader, which is a good read (based on what I skimmed anyway). ;)

Star Rift – Thanks to Goomich over on Steam for letting me know about this new game on Greenlight. It looks like a first/third-person space combat/trading game, and you can learn more from the official site or from the trailer, which I’ll embed after the cut.

My crown broke off last Friday, and just went to dentist today. Said my tooth decayed (2nd molar on upper left), and the best option is to extract it. So I’m about to experience your pain tomorrow :/

As for Homeworld, never played it. I checked their forums a bit, and somehow fans got the word that the old games are planned to be re-released digitally? I couldn’t find a source for it anywhere, but would be nice to be able to get it via Steam or GOG.com. If you can find a source, let us know!

On the Next Podcast…

12/6 - 5:30 PM Pacific - On the next podcast, we'll sit down with the host of the Upper Memory Block Podcast and hash out the classic X-Wing Series!! Be sure to tune in on YouTube, Twitch or Beam, and be sure to check the calendar for even more upcoming shows!
